Welcoming visitors into the town are a vast array of Rococo cherubs, angels and other adornments at the Wilten Basilica; the gorgeous Golden Roof in the Old Town; a series of lofty baroque columns and a disproportionate number of world-class museums. The best way to get a feel for Innsbruck, however, is to take in the crisp, fresh air on a horse-drawn carriage ride. When you stop to refuel, you\u2019ll soon realize that this city not only exudes beauty and charm, but also a tempting culinary tradition, from Austrian hotpots to strudels, kn\u00f6del and torte.

Nordic to its core, some of Reykjavik\u2019s top sites can be found in the Old Town, where the 19th century parliament building stands alongside H\u00f6f\u00f0i House (the location of an important Reagan-Gorbachev summit), a colorful harbor, and the modern, landmark church, the Hallgrimskirkja.

Once one of the world\u2019s greatest mosques, it\u2019s now a cathedral that vies with the whitewashed Jewish quarter and Renaissance-era palaces for the attention of visitors.
